      Overall a great company to work for if you are talented, inspired and looking to make an impact.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong, stable and growing company that in general allows its people to be creative in how they provide services and support to their customers. In healthcare they are very focused on the frontline clinical staff (ex. nursing) and the patients, which is where the focus should be; they ingrain this into their frontline teams. ARAMARK does business with their customers as a partnership seeking a long solid relationship, rather than just seeking profit. Strong ethics and upstanding leaders who do the right things for their customers when it counts.

      Cons

      In the healthcare division the level of systems integration and use of IT/data is lower than one would expect of a company with the client portfolio and resources that ARAMARK has access to, although they still deliver a high quality product. They should be on the cutting edge of systems development, systems integration, supply chain integration, and field operations efficiencies engineering.

      One ARAMARK Employee: Never afraid to speak his mind.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I like the opportunities that the company has given me over the ten years I've been with ARAMARK. Quite a bit has to do with my drive and skill set, but there is also some to do with the leadership that I've had, and the mentoring role that they've played over the years. I've also been afforded the opportunity to travel with ARAMARK, but then again, that is a derivitive of the performance and drive that I've shown.

      Cons

      Like any job I've been in, being in one location for too long tends to get a bit boring. I am a person that likes to have changing roles on a pretty frequent basis. And as it is with any large corporation, some of the processes and politics within the company get rather tiresome.

      Horrible hours but great potential

      District manager

      Pros

      great opportunity for advancement, the company believes in promoting from within. the benefits package is great and can increase your salary by 20,000/year. they also offer a company car with gas card or car stipend.

      Cons

      the hours are unreasonable, even by the hardest working individual's standards. a district manager works 60 hours per week on average. staffing is not centralized and when a market center is understaffed this can really become a problem. managers cannot do their job, run a route, and staff open positions. their should be a stronger HR presence at each market center to help out training is not centralized, and there is disparity between route reps because each was trained differently, although there is a manual to follow. having one centralized training location or requiring all route reps to attend annual training for 1 week at a centralized location would greatly benefit the company
